Long before EVs and hydrogen became part of the global energy transition conversation, ethanol was already powering engines. The first ethanol-powered engine was developed in 1826 by Samuel Morey, and Henry Ford's first automobile, the 1896 Quadricycle, was designed to run on ethanol.
Some 200 yrs later, ethanol has become an integral part of the transport fuel strategy of more than 60 countries. India may have joined this journey later than many of its peers, but it's now emerging as one of the world's fastest-growing ethanol economies.
